Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20091

Customer Comments: The width of the opening is 42" and the height of the box is 38-1/8". It will sit on a flat hearth. It is a Rumford Style so the box is shallow and tall. It should pitch out sufficient heat so the glass needs to be tempered. We would like Bifold doors (because it sits back in the full profile). and we would like cabinet door style screens. I am looking to keep the reveal of the door minimal and the opening as large as we can.

If you think an air circulator would be a good option please quote it separately or at least give me an idea of what it would run. This fire box is made to stand the wood up and lean on the back of the wall. The firebox is 42" wide at the front, 15" wide in back, and 15" deep (with an ash dump door in the bottom at back).

Our Comments: Based on your previous conversation you were interested in the Brookfield and Legend doors. We highly recommend pyro ceramic glass as it can handle prolonged temperatures up to 1200 degrees. Tempered glass should be at least 8" from the fire and can only handle about 400 to 500 degrees continuous and will eventually lose its temper over the years.

Fireplace Opening: 42" W x 38 1/8" H

Affordable Aluminum Doors

Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable. You can burn them with the doors closed, but must be careful that the fire is not too close to the glass.

Brookfield

Option #1: Design Specialties Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

Medium Range Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut. You can burn them with the doors closed, but must be careful that the fire is not too close to the glass.

Legend

Option #2: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

High End Steel Doors w/Ceramic Glass

These doors are also made from laser cut steel, but are tightly sealed with full frames around pyro-ceramic glass panes. The ceramic glass can handle constant heat up to 1200 degrees F, so there is less worry about the flames being too close to the fire.

Flat Steel

Option #3: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Fireplace Glass Door in Matte Black with AirSeal Doors, Pyro-Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

Glass Door Mesh Options

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.

We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
